Disable network bridge by GPO

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi,

My company has a Windows 2000 network with XP and 2000 workstations. We are trying to disable Network Bridge by using GPO, so we took an XP system template and add it to the Administrative templates on a Windows 2000 DC and enabled "Prohibit installation and configuration of Network Bridge on your DNS domain network" from "Local Computer Policy, Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, and Network Connections."

It works if there is no network bridge on the XP workstation, but if there is already a bridge setup, the GPO cannot be applied to it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

William
